Cut some alder several years ago and have these pieces to deal with.

Wow, now that is unique!  I'd be tempted to just join them so they look like a big letter C, attach some legs or base, finish with a good clear seal and put a round piece of glass on top.  Looks like it might be close to 3 foot in diameter when done?

So you fellows are thinking like this.  Just a bit over the 36 inches. and one could put a glass top on it or in the centre.

Perfect!  What's the size the other way?  I'd opt to put a 40" round glass top on it so it hangs a little over the edge.  With or without a bevel.  Then you wouldn't have to worry about what drink someone is placing/spilling on it.

Thanks for the suggestions. I like the idea of the glass top.
It is around 28 inches the other way.

That would work or a spline or biscuit joints.  If you put a 48" glass top on it, it would make a great breakfast/dining nook table!

I like KBeits second idea. Could put rectangular glass on it that way.

The other option is just a small glass infill over the center in the C shape. I have never been a big fan of glass. Especially with glasses. Seems the two have a tendency to kill each other.

That would depend upon what the other side of one of the pieces looked like, and then they would not be book matched.  It's easier done with photoshop.

"C" shape for sure!  Bob said they were Alder or that's what he was told.  I don't know what Alder looks like but with the red streaks I was wondering if it was elder - as in Box elder?
Anything someone can design, I can sure figure out how to fix!
If I say it\\\\\\\'s going to take so long, multiply that by at least 3!

 ???Was thinking the same thing Brad! Looks like boxelder to me too.

I would cut them both on a angle and go for a more rounded top with 2 glue joints.  :)

Looks like you have an almost square hole in the center for a pedestal post. The top of the post could be pierced with a suitable batten that supports both wings of the top. 3 heavy, curved legs at the bottom of the pedestal to keep the thing from being tipsy. Hmm. Maybe even carve a depression in the top of the post, like the big cockleshells in corner cupboards. It's a chip 'n' dip table!

I don't like glass over wood. (But you're not making it to suit me).
Find something to do that interests you.

rjwoelk

Love all the suggestions fellers, great ideas are just a grinding,  ;D
Grouch I like the pedistal idea, something with lots of flare, how about a big ceder log butt for that, Will be getting some Birch firewood in and he has a bigger log to throw on the load maybe it will be flaired enough, will see and wait. Western Red cedar would be better though.

Something like this. with the flair to the floor .

If you use a flare, you'll probably want to hog out the center of the bottom somehow, so that it sits still. Think of the depression in the underside of a cup or bowl.

Thanks grouch, you got a point, as as the log drys it will get to rocking and rolling. angle grinder with a flapper disc, or course 50 grit belt sander would do it, i doubt if one needs to take out much more than3/8 inch if that.
